The air was cold as night fell in Mystic Falls as Caroline walked out the woods, which was seemingly the only place where she could find peace and quiet. She made her way to her house where her mother, Liz was waiting for her to give her a speech about her missing so many days of college, she was actually looking forward to this mother-daughter time that she never had anymore with her mother.

The only sound found throughout the streets were the clacking of Caroline's boots that could be heard for miles. That made Caroline feel agitated, quiet in Mystic Falls immediately sent up a red flag. Her phone vibrating startled her and she dug through her purse to find the Stefan calling her, she ignored it the last thing she needed right now was more Salvatore drama. A sound came from her phone and saw she had a voicemail and she listened.

"Hey Caroline, you probably don't want to hear this right now, but I think I really need my sponsor right now, something happened to Elena," Caroline scoffed and continued to listen.

"Just call me as soon as possible, if you don't call me, I'll come over later," The voicemail ended, she wondered what problems could they possibly be talking about, Silas left town, Bonnie's back and Klaus is gone, she shook the thought of him out her head as she walked into her house and was not greeted by her mother.

"Mom!" Caroline yelled throughout the house, she continued investigating the house until she picked up the phone and dialed her mother's phone number.

"Caroline, I know I'm sorry I'm late, a new case just opened and they want to start investigating as soon as possible," Liz confesses through the phone awaiting the dismay from her daughter.

"Okay, I'll be home," Caroline says, trying to hide the hint of disappointment in her voice before hanging up the phone and walking up the stairs and into her bedroom, she opens the door to find her bedroom window opened. She stepped one foot into her room and then the other slowly. Therefore, she examined her bedroom for anything that would be missing, but everything was intact, everything was where she left it when she left.

A creak caused her to become vigilant, consequently she followed the sound leading her into her bathroom, her hand went to the door and she pushed it slightly to reveal a blood splattered bathroom. Red stained her white tiles and the word monster was spelt in blood on the mirror. Caroline wanted to scream or shriek or even move from this horrifying scene, but all available oxygen left her body. Her phone vibrating on her bed, took her mind away of how much bleach she was going to have to use to scrub out the blood off her tiles. She walked to her bed and picked up her phone to see Stefan calling her once again but, this time she answered.

"Caroline? It's Stefan," He said, her mouth was so dry she can barely respond him, she looked back at the horrifying scene in her bathroom and the only thing that she could muster up was

"Blood," She said finally and then she felt it, poking into her arm and a fluid fill her veins as she dropped to the floor. Her eyelids heavily fluttered,

"Caroline? Caroline!" He yelled through the phone and was the last thing she heard before her eyes fell shut.

Caroline's POV

My eyes opened slowly and my head was spinning, I looked around my surroundings and my heart started to race, this was not my bedroom. I stood off the chair I was in only to be restrained back down. My hand were cuffed to the arms of the chair and the restraints were dripping with vervain. My legs were cuffed to the legs to the chair and there was a pain in my back, I could feel the stake scratching at my heart.

"If I were you I would stop moving, that stake in your back will kill you before your friends come rescue you," A petite girl with brown hair said while walking through the door.

"Who the hell are you?" I managed to muster up all the sass and pride I had to say that with the amount of oxygen I had left.

"My name is Sophie Deveraux," She says awaiting my response like I was suppose to recognize her name.

"Well my name is Caro-" She cuts me off, which takes me by surprise and starts walking towards me stopping with every step.

"Leverage," She says simply as she slowly removes the stake in my back and throws it on the floor beneath her feet.

"Leverage against who?" I say, I couldn't believe it was always me that ended up with problems like this, what?, do I wear a torture me sign on my head or something? I awaited her answer to see who I being baited against.

"Klaus," She said and I laugh suddenly and she squints at me waiting for me to explain my actions.

"Sweetie, Klaus doesn't live in Mystic Falls anymore," I say and this time it was Sophie's turn to laugh.

"Well good thing we aren't in Mystic Falls anymore, Caroline welcome to New Orleans,"
